ParaSnap Octa 44 softbox

The ParaSnap Octa 44 is a new octagonal softbox designed for fashion and portrait photographers who want quick setup with Bowens-mount or Flashpoint XPLOR 300/400 strobes. Its single-motion frame opens and locks into shape without loose rods, making it practical for on-location and studio sessions alike.

SterlingFibre lining and diffuser kit

The quilted SterlingFibre interior maximises output while eliminating hot spots, and the removable inner and outer diffusers let you tailor contrast for varied skin tones. A tool-free speedring swap allows the same softbox to accept Bowens, Flashpoint, Broncolor, Profoto, Elinchrom or Godox adapters without disassembly.

Swing-and-snap assembly

One swing-and-snap motion deploys the frame, and the speedring cover flips open for instant ring changes. The only common snag is forgetting to seat the speedring fully before closing the cover, which prevents the lock from engaging.

Questions about this item

How do I replace the SterlingFibre lining or the inner and outer diffusers if they get dirty or damaged?

The SterlingFibre interior and both diffusers are removable; unclip the soiled part and snap a fresh one into the same mounting points.

Will the quick-collapse frame or the speedring latch wear out first if I open and close this softbox every day?

The single-swing frame mechanism bears the repeated motion, while the tool-free speedring swap only moves when you change mounts, so the frame sees the heavier cycle count.

Does the quilted SterlingFibre lining trap heat from a Flashpoint XPLOR 300 or 400 strobe during all-day sessions?

The open-vented frame design lets hot air escape around the silver lining, so the interior stays cool even with continuous full-power firing.
